Sleeve Gastrectomy

Longitudinal gastrectomy (Sleeve Gastrectomy – SG) is classified as a “restrictive type” surgery against morbid obesity.

It is aimed at candidates with:

• Specific eating habits (strictly consumption of large volumes of food – NO sweets)
• Body Mass Index (BMI) < 50
• Increased basal metabolic rate (BMR)(This does not cure metabolic syndrome, but simply improves it)

The choice of longitudinal gastrectomy is made individually, based on an algorithm for each candidate according to their individual history.

The operation is performed both with the classic laparoscopic method, simple or 3D, and with the SILS method (Laparoscopic Surgery by Single Incision) (referral to SILS), as well as robotically (referral to Robotic).
